Just my opinion, but there is a lot of distance between the left & right on which side has gone, basically, nuts...and that would be the political left. But your point is valid: and I've been saying it from the start: this is a nothing story.
Then there are people like me. Voted for Romney in 2012 and would have loved Kasich or Bush or even Rubio in 2016, but I do not think Trump is a good President at all. Am I considered a leftist nut?
I believe Trump forced the Coast Guard Rear Admiral to issue a statement and as far as the UNSIGNED letter from the NOAA, that is very suspect. Yes Trump is a liar and I firmly believe he would force others to lie for him to justify his immense ego.
Me...…..I'm thinking very few people including Trump would be able to force a career military officer who made it to that rank to do something they didn't want to do.

Like his doctors note about his amazing health. Or his fictional character, John Barron.

No. I would have liked to see Romney as pres. Country didn't want a decent man in the presidency despite what they all claim.

Nope, not by me. Trump is like drinking a glass of vinegar, for many, difficult to swallow. I get that. But I care more about the courts & immigration & several other things that the democratic party has gone so far left on that I no longer trust them, or even view them as rational.
Here is the statement by the coast guard admiral, I don't see any threat to Alabama on that days map and he still didn't explain the sharpie. Why is he going back to August 27, that is not the issue its his briefing Sept 1.
"I showed the President the official National Hurricane Center forecast, which included the 'cone' that projects the potential path of the eye of the storm.The president and I also reviewed other products, including multiple meteorological models (often called the 'spaghetti models') and graphics that displayed the time of onset and geographical range of tropical storm force winds, storm surge, and rainfall. These products showed possible storm impacts well outside the official forecast cone."
This ^^^ is correct. There were projections that a corner of Alabama had a very small percent chance of experiencing winds above 39 mph. The problem comes when Trump took that geographically-defined portion of Alabama from the tropical storm wind force map and drew it onto the "'cone" that projects the potential path of the eye of the storm. Note that the Admiral is very careful not to explain which "products" showed what.
If Trump wanted to talk about Alabama (and a substantial portion of the rest of the United States) then why not just show the wind force map? Why use a sharpie to alter the projected path of the hurricane? I don't quite get why anyone would think that acceptable.
This statement is no more absurd than Obama's "I've visited all 57 states" quote. Sure, we can recall it but I doubt it accumulated seven days of comments.
